FIRST DAY OF PRISON PART 1

I remember my first day of prison...

Orlando, Florida.

Reception Center.

My perception centers on

GETTIN’ in and GETTIN’ out.

I got in with da’ onez

WHO NEVER GOT OUT.

Like a CAGED SEED

Unable to sprout

Beyond a RAZOR-WIRED pot,

Being stuck in a mystery prison plot,

Not knowin’ if this time

Will ever STOP!,

So that time at livin’

Can have its own clock,

Enjoyin’ da’ tick-TOCK

        TICK-tock

        TICK-TOCK

Of Liberty’s bell.

MY COUNTY ORANGEZ ENTER HELL.

Stripped NAKED and BARE,

As da’ COLD AIR cracks

Around my tremblin’ BREATH.

My tremblin’ FLESH burns

Under chillin’ SHOWER WATER that stabs.

Forced to grab hand-me-down STATE RAGz

And paint my Black body BLUE,

Since free-world richez ran thru a leak.

Free-world wishez slam thru shit’s creek.

A C.O.’s STIFFED ARM

Even blew my BLUED BODY back.

I wanna react with dat

BLOOD-IN-MY-EYE attack!!!,

But dat track won’t be known

For another seven yearz.

So, my EARz listen to my FEARz,

Let this lil’ ass kkkracka slide.

It’s a playground now,

But dat shit ain’t SWINGIN’

In future nowadayz.

Cuz dat shit get me SWINGIN’

Out this rage!!!

CAGED

But will raise

BARRED WINGz into a sage,

Who is unafraid of ‘dem dayz when

‘DEM TRIPLE ‘K’z

Bait with

BOOT stumpz!

FIST poundz!!

MACE drownz!!!

All in HANDCUFFz

FACE-down

On a BLOODY ground,

Until da’ last sound

Of a prisoner takin’

HIS LAST BREATH.
